Final Fantasy Type 0 (PS4) - this game does not belong on the PS4 at all. It's a HD remake, but only partially, as there are ugly textures and low poly objects everywhere. It's a PSP game that should have just been ported to the Vita instead. Or the PS3 at a $40 price. I have yet to see anything in this HD version that could not have run on the PS3. I'm sure it will shape up to be a great game itself, but it looks like they only put it on a next gen system just to justify charging $60.

I don't consider tosspot apps original games. They are all built off of the idea of something else, even angry birds. When I refer to a game as being best/worst of anything, it has to be an original, not a copycat, ripoff, or spinoff of an older game. (Exceptions can be applied when referring to best/worst re-make/spinoff)

There we are. Who said Freemium is always bollocks? They've absolutely nailed it. Pick-up-and-play ATB system battles where you work through the key moments of all the Final Fantasy games. Sam enemies, bosses, music etc. albeit presented in a faux 16-bit style. Brilliant fanservice.

The more serious question is why do I buy new games when I end up just playing old games anyway. I bought Type 0 and Assassin's Creed Unity in the last few weeks, yet they are just sitting there as I play Final Fantasy VII, Half-Life 2 and Yoshi's Island again.

...yeah. I do play my new games, especially PC, but I think I'm putting more time into my old stuff. I just got Felix the Cat for NES, and beat it. Pretty excellent platformer.

Oh, and a couple days ago I got Kickmaster for NES. Which is both kind of hilarious and awesome. It's a shame the price has gotten so high - it used to be like a $10 game, now it's $60ish.

Look at the cover art:

That's Dust, Spelunky, and the two Trine games. (Oddly enough, Trine 1 is listed as Windows-only on the site, but in the account it offers a Mac download. I'll have to get a Wineskin wrapper for Spelunky, though.)

...I also found a 107-key IBM Model F keyboard. Best keyboard ever made. IBM's beautiful buckling springs, capacitive keyswitches with n-key rollover (unlike the Model Ms), and (unlike the other Model F variants) a layout that pretty closely resembles the ANSI standard. Built like a goddamn tank with an all-steel enclosure. I'll need to do some work before it's ready to use (repaint it, replace the foam padding, upgrade it with an Xwhatsit USB controller, replace/remap some of the keys), but I am stupidly excited about this thing.

I bought GTA V for PC. I've now owned every single graphical generation of this game (360, PS4 and now PC). On the plus side I only had to pay for it once because the trade-in credit of each purchase paid for the preorder of the next version up. Bad thing is now I have to watch the first 5 hours of story again for a third time.
